Chapter 109

• [Ariya’s POV]
• "Aunt, I'm confused. I don't understand what you're saying. But do you know Christopher? Do you know my husband for you to feel this way?" I couldn't help but inquire. It seemed shallow to me that she was feeling this because of fear or shame.
• "I know your husband very well, dear. I know Christopher. And because of that, I hurt even more now. I'm hurting because even if I face him, I can't tell the truth without hurting him. I don't want him to be hurt and suffer. I won't allow that. I've endured for a long time, so I'm willing to endure even more for him," her tearful statement only added to the confusion in my mind.
